Juns to Trinity: St. Edward left tackle Joe Juns will continue his football career at NAIA Trinity International in Deerfield. The Elgin resident intends to make the commitment official this week.
Juns (6-foot-5, 300 pounds) sat out his junior year due to injury problems, but returned to a starting role for St. Edward in 2008.
"I missed my junior year and really enjoyed playing as a senior," Juns said. "I just want to keep playing." Juns received a partial athletic scholarship. He intends to become a police officer or detective.
Approximately six members of the 2008 Green Wave are expected to commit to various colleges in the coming weeks, St. Edward coach Mike Rolando said Monday.
Scholly to Ferris State: St. Edward senior defensive back/wide receiver Josh Scholly committed to Division II Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich. on Feb. 4.
Scholly, who led the Green Wave in tackles in 2008, was recruited as a defensive back.
"I'm the first one from my family to go to college, so it's a new experience for us," Scholly said. "I can't wait to play college football. I've heard a lot about the intensity being that much higher, and I look forward to that. I'm really stoked and I'm ready to play."
Scholly intends to study chemistry and eventually work in the medical field.
